(rumble, young man, rumble)
how many more days will you sit
and talk about your ambitions
all that you can be
the person you are dying to be
the place you want to get to
but always out of reach
before that fury swells inside of you
grows so big that it for

They will try to take this from you
Nothing that I can say will get you to listen
Nor should it
It's what makes youth so blissful
I did not wanna hear it either
But maybe just a warning?
And you can keep your eyes peeled for the signs
You will know them because it'll

Still can't believe i'm even writing this one
Stoop down all the way down here
Address this shit that is so far beyond beneath me
Calling out some cowards who will never even face me
Ducked that shit for years it never even phased me
Cuz i have always known that it's the hate

the last thing that i want to do right now
is scream one more line
about the words that fall from your mouth
landing somewhere just short of my feet
some long, sad, boring list of let downs
that i have talked about a thousand times before
some spark i thought i saw

Though I walk alone I am never on my own
How can I not confuse family with friends
Even though that is exactly what somebody told me
This was more than a chapter but the heart of the whole damn book
I had my best friend by my side when I learned my father died
Ive seen strang

Searching, sifting, dying to find the worst in everything around you.
All that's wrong is all that you fuckin' see
because its all that you look for.
But you won't wallow in your doom alone
you've got to ruin it for everyone.
With words that belittle the situation
a

(play the fife lowly)
i just cannot stop
asking why, always why
running and running
wandering and wondering
no matter how many years fly by
screaming "who, what and when"
like some crazed eight year old
who needs to know everything
in a world so fille

I can't believe how tightly
you can shut your eyes
Mouth open wide your words say more
than any text book could
I've never seen nothing
take up so much space
Your wisdom rings hollow
It's just some shit that your drunk father
nailed into your head when you were te

Just one quick glance was all that it took
Trapped in your stare of judgement
As we pass each other on the street
And I look into your robot eyes as you make your careful calculations
I choke on your perfume as you file me into lower class
The moment stretches as I hear the c

I've tried to hold what I can
You should see these scars that are on my hands

Letting go is never easy to do
Everyday's a new door that we all must go through
I've learned so much, you're never gone, my friend
I know we'll meet the same shining end

Forget the who, the

Can we start again
Go back to what it meant back then
Open minds and open hearts
The things that set us apart
Was it more than words
And do they still apply
And do you still believe
Well so do I
I was a 15 year old kid
With nowhere to fit in
I ju

I can still see the reasons
that I opened my eyes to this scene in the first place.
I can still feel my beleifs growing stronger - stronger everyday.
I can still count the ways but for you its all over.
The feeling is gone and you're moving on
and tearing us down with yo

I wish that I could spread my arms so wide
That I could wrap them around everyone I've ever known and loved
Protect them from the crashing waves
The storms that will take us all one at a time
The unheard goodbyes that we are never ready to whisper
Turning once strong men into

Who was it who asked about the last mile being the hardest mile
Trying not to spend more time looking back
There's still a bit more to go
Can't stop measuring strike outs to home runs
Trying to justify these compromises that have piled up and dulled my blade
Maybe we stayed t

Holding this moment
In the palm of my hands

This thing still means
So much to me
Beliefs that have stood
The test of time

A force that surrounds us
Penetrates us
Binds us all together
These days belong to us

It's in the things that we said
All th

Right here right now
It's never felt more real than this
Right here right now
The depths of my heart

I've been abandoned my whole life
Sad songs, early deaths
Bones piled to my knees
It's always been the minor-chords for me

So if it's the last scene
Make i

What have you done
Look at what you have done
Screaming words of venom
Right in your daughters face
Take the time to show her
That all her thoughts were wrong
Shape her in your image
Just as somebody did to you
And if this is how you do it
When you're

Welcome to the day that you opened your eyes
So wide that it nearly took your life away
And you are finally seeing all the things
That you have been missing
Could it really be that you have been so blind
Or just merely looking the other way
Today the world comes int

My brain, it was all blocked up
Feeling out of sorts
The words they would not come
I met a guy on the train
Who had a few kind words
The nicest dude
Showed me his "ante up" tattoo

It's kind of wild the people who we will find
Some that you don't even know
Wi

You go on without me I'll hold right here.
That gleam in your eyes, it still fills me with fear.
The more you see that I'm not like the others
the harder you try to take my hand in yours.
Cold grey and callous, reaching out for me.
Whatever's over that that hill, it scar
